For an album that I knew front to back, these differences – though subtle – were enough to pique my interest. By the time I reached the third track, I sensed something was wrong: the instrumentation on the explosive opener “Somewhat Damaged” didn’t sound as intelligible the atmospheric “The Day the World Went Away” lacked a certain airiness the brittle piano on “The Frail” sounded duller. Revisiting the album on Spotify, however, was a different experience. As a teenager, I played this double album to death on my Discman to the point where I can still vividly recall every subtlety that Trent Reznor meticulously laid down.
A couple of weeks ago, I found myself listening to an old favourite from my adolescence, Nine Inch Nails’ 1999 opus The Fragile.
